Simply Stitched With Wool by Yumiko Higuchi

Another winner from Yumiko

Well, I didn't really *need* another book by her... But I'm delighted and enthused by her designs and will be embellishing my mends and darns with several of these beautiful botanical patterns. Her style is timeless, both classic and modern.

Inspirational as always

Its always a treat when a Yumiko Higuchi book is published in English. And even better when its stocked "locally" - ie, in the UK. Simply Stitched with Wool is another collection of lovely designs I had no hesitation in adding to my Yumiko book collection. As usual the first half of the book contains beautifully photographed embroidered projects followed by pages of advice, instructions and clear full size patterns to trace or copy. As indicated by the title these designs have been embroidered in tapestry wool and cotton floss but they are just as well suited to embroidery silks. Its just so hard to choose which to go for first. Oh but I do love the marigolds!
